Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower novel Chapter 851

Chapter 851: News Spread (2)

Among the younger generations, Emperor Yang Zhou had only seen a few people who were so troublesome.

First, Long Qian Xing.

That man has his own worldview that was somewhat different, but his abilities were quite pivotal for him. And knowing that this man had no interest on the throne even with his capabilities, Emperor Yang Zhou felt somewhat relaxed around Long Qian Xing.

While it was impossible to completely trust the other party, they could treat each other well.

Secondly, Shangguan Xiao.

He could be saying one thing but meant another matter altogether. Not to mention, his ability to sniff out secrets were extremely high that people had to be careful what they were saying in front of him.

And there were a few more others who were now in the court that Emperor Yang Zhou had met. At this time, he realized that it was time to expand this list to add Shangguan Yu inside.

"The Shangguan Family had some interesting genes mixed in." Emperor Yang Zhou chuckled.

"Not everyone from Shangguan Family only relies on their muscle," Prime Minister Lan added quietly. He knew very well that most of the members in the Shangguan Family was only good at using their muscles.

It was also because of this that many of them actually entered military. But even with good strength, many of them didn't have good coordination and thus their martial arts learning was so bad.

Many of them ended up as nothing more than guards in the Capital City.

It was a decent job.

But it was far cry from the independent commanders who could roam around and achieved countless military merits.

So far, only the two siblings Shangguan Xian and Shangguan Xiao showed exceptional aptitude for fighting at the frontline. While their direction differed greatly due to their personality, it was also the truth that the two of them were doing very well at the frontline.

No other members of Shangguan Family could be as accomplished as the two of them.

"Shangguan Xian and Shangguan Yu are both the exception who developed in different direction." Emperor Yang Zhou nodded. These might be related to their mothers, but he was not that clear about their mothers.

Anyway, it was not his place to meddle with these people's internal affairs.

There were many others that he needed to take care of.

"Does Your Majesty wants some countermeasure to be put in place?" Prime Minister Lan asked carefully.

Countermeasure?

With the way this man had been hiding all these times, Emperor Yang Zhou felt that no one would notice his capabilities if he didn't show it. It just meant that Shangguan Yu wanted to start building his power politically.

Perhaps, he had already felt that the political words were suitable for him.

"Don't worry about him."

Prime Minister Lan opened his mouth in worry but in the end, he could only close it again and cupped his fist.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

While he didn't understand why Emperor Yang Zhou chose to use such a troublesome person, he could only follow Emperor Yang Zhou's order. As his subordinate, it was only natural for him to follow the order.

But of course, Prime Minister Lan would make sure to watch over Shangguan Yu to prevent any mistake.

They couldn't afford having these double edged swords swinging in their direction.

If Emperor Yang Zhou knew what Prime Minister Lan was thinking, he would say that the biggest double edged sword had already showed his sharpness not long ago. But he would definitely not say anything like that.

Anyway, he believed that Long Qian Xing would depart to the frontline again.

Only at the frontline would he be able to focus on his work and no longer thought about the things that happened here. That way, he could also stop swinging that blade in their direction and cause more headache.

…

Feng Ao Kuai was staying within Old Master Nan's Residence this time. Since he had basically showed himself, he could stay within the residence righteously without having to worry about others finding out about him.

However, he couldn't fall asleep.

The events that occurred during the day replayed within his mind and what was inside his mind the most was the gaze that Nan Hua gave to him. That black obsidian pupil seemed to be filled with complicated emotions.

Emotions that Feng Ao Kuai couldn't understand.

He sighed.

He hoped that his cousin didn't push herself too hard.
